“The solution was to renew him and if his destiny is to finish at another team in the summer, in the end it will happen.
“We have never said he will come here, but it is true we like this type of player. Everything depends on whether they want to sell the player and if he wants to come.
“He is in a great state of form. The future of world-wide football.”
